In the Darkest Moment of my Life. . . . .
19th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Parish Priest’s Sunday, August 7, 2011
Right now, I’m writing this article in the darkest moment of my life. I have lost everything. . . . .
At this very moment it has been only the burnt out me, my slashed backpack, my weary luggage, and my enduring Metanoia Antoine G60 that has been spared from hold-up I have experienced a while ago. . . . .
I am in the verge of my total destruction. . . . .
Being expelled of my own house, I have no more home to call to. . . . .
I have no more money to spend since everything has been spent for me to survive the day. . . . .
I have no more biological family to go back to. It is either going home and face prison or to go away from home surviving, uncertain. . . . .
I’m deserted by people. Having my only line of communication robbed from me I have no more contact to people I can ask help. . . . .
My body doesn’t have a decent sleep for more than 72 hours and my feet have been growing heavier and heavier the hours pass by. . . . .
My mind is running low, haven’t eaten enough for almost 24 hours, I’m in the state of forced fasting only taking limited amount of water that have remain to me. . . . .
My strength is fading; I cannot stand for long anymore. . . . .
My soul is in the state of restlessness. It is seems my life have been diminishing to the lowest, deepest, darkest moment of my life. . . . .
I do not blame anybody for I do not have the right to blame anybody including myself. . . . .
I have been subjected to the most painful and hardest involuntary pruning I have for the rest of my life. . . . .
I am now in definitely in scratch, seemingly nothing to keep, nothing to store, nothing to dwell. . . . .
It seems my God have really made me empty, broken, shattered, humbled more than enough, pressed down to the greatest limits, almost crushed to the core. . . . .
I wish I have something to hold to and it is almost none. Now I only have faith that I can still survive and endure this greatest challenge I have right now. I only have the strength that Christ had set to me to finish this race strong. . . . .
I only have a small ember of hope remaining of me, losing almost all of my dreams that have set before me. But that little ember keeps me standing. . . . .
My heart was in the most dried and empty state that I haven’t experienced all the rest of my life until now. . . . .
My spirit is now living to the glory of God. . . My whole life is turning towards the unending grace and incomprehensible Divine Mercy of the Creator. . . I have no more route to walk but the path towards the only thing that would keep me right now. . . The everlasting clemency of the Divine one towards the future that He really wants for me. . . . .
I’m keeping myself sane, because I cannot afford any loss on my part right now, as if I lose my life if there would be anything removed from me. But if that is the will of God to me I will definitely obey even everything is removed. Because I have the confidence that the LORD is doing this for me to become better, to become greater, to become humbler, to become more faithful to Him, to become more hopeful to Him, to become more loving to Him and to others as well. . . . .
My strength is already returning after some time of rest in a place that is open for me to repose. . . My light that had never failed me still continues to shine for me. . . The track toward greatness had already started to move me more than anything more. . . What is with me right now and what I have right now is the only weapon and armor I will have to march forward the battlefield towards the victory of Christ. . . For the greater glory and love of my God and King. . . . .
Loving Father, in the darkest moment of my life right now, I have felt Your presence. I have nothing more than only You and You alone completes my life right now. . . I’m in the most treacherous situation of my Desert experience. You alone are the strength I only have. You alone are the hope of my life right now. You alone are the glory, honor, and praise of my being. You are the remaining Light in this darkness I’m feeling. . . Keep my eye towards you and to you alone, I have experienced so much pain from the pruning You have in my life. I feel empty but only You can fill everything up. . . Keep me the faith I have endured for the rest of my life. I’m no more focusing to anything but to the price you have in store of me. Loving Father, keep me away from the side of darkness I’m experiencing. May this humbling offering I have satisfies You. I’m surrendering everything to Your holy presence. . . May this be a witness to Your unending grace and love. . . Your mercy is already enshrouded upon me and would keep me focused to the praise of being and becoming something all for the greatest Glory, Honor, Blessing and Praise of you name. . . Father, I am always Yours, bring towards the greatness of the future You have in store for me. . . . . We humbly ask this in the most holy and loving presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; In unity with the Holy Spirit, One God and with Mother Mary’s intercession with the angels and saints. . . . . AMEN!
